You don’t have to worry about standing in line to see some people get punched in the crotch by Steven Seagal. Somehow the writers at The Onion managed to convince a studio to put together a straight-to-DVD movie filled with their antics.
The funny part for me is that someone named Caroon Gharakhanian actually emailed me saying that he saw various posts of The Onion on my site and thought I’d be interested in the movie. Pretty smart viral marketing (using a bot to find out the millions of sites that link to even one article and then filtering for the correct email… innovative operation).
That reminds me of when Tyler Cowen released his new book. He emailed everyone that had ever posted a comment on Marginal Revolution to tell us about it.
And speaking of books, War Nerd, one of my favorite writers has a new book coming out on July 1 (apparently you can get an advanced copy at Amazon).
Note: no I wasn’t paid by anyone to post this. Yes, I would like to have been paid. Send yen, loonies or euros to me Seoul. No dollars.
